Actually shameful behaviour from @HOME_mcr I’m embarrassed for you
Art is political, as is so much of the art you display/feature at what is a publicly funded Manchester multi arts centre
We're pleased that #LocalHousingAllowance is being raised to cover 30% of rents.
But if the #BenefitCap isn't increased as well, anyone who is benefit capped won't get any more income - their landlord will just be entitled to more of a share of what they get. 👇
🎉 We did it!
📜 We are delighted to have achieved Volunteer Centre Quality Accreditation #VCQA from @NAVCA in recognition of the high-quality volunteering services we offer and the impact this has for our local communities

The rain has finally stopped and we had a great time on our team trip to the Feel Good Family Picnic today! Lovely to see so many of our members sharing music and fun creative activities
“We think together, we solve problems together and we understand our populations together.” Quickly funding the VCFSE to respond to the Cost of Living crisis a great example of this #HMRLCO#ICIC23
Some useful learning from The Netherlands to take back to our #HMR prevention networks, which are bringing together community groups and statutory colleagues in neighbourhoods to build relationships and take action #ICIC23
@CormacRussell Yeah it's been interesting how ABCD has been the starting point for developing primary care neighbourhoods in Flanders. It's just a shame the programme is only funded for 2 years. Communities don't work to a deadline!
"I used to be a shy volunteer, it's amazing what can happen in a few years" Filip's recovery journey after years in hospital to mobilising communities and giving people a voice in a small Belgian town #ICIC23
Great talk about how Alberta works with the VCFSE sector - share power, work with infrastructure orgs, recognise that only 3-5% of health care is delivered by the system #ICIC23
VERDICT DAY.
After 3 months of tweeting updates, I’ve no plan for this thread as I have others. More will come from @KidsOfColourHQ, I guess I need to out grief here.
All 10 were found guilty. As soon as the word ‘gang’ entered that court, that was it. I’m mad that I had hope.
We can have youth violence without ‘gangs’. If we accepted that some kids in groups aren’t dealing with conflict well, are individually carrying, individually dealing to survive, we’d have to reflect on our society.
‘Gangs’ excuses us, no mirror, they’re just a violent ‘other’.
